Athanasios Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I am sure their stuff is cheaper and dont forget the x-wing, fighter/bomber. Rebels think small scale and it works,xwings take down the Death star, awings take down SSD's in ROTJ, so dont worry rebel players, if you lose it wont be because of tech. Its because you suck....heehee. We'll solve our differences in an 1v1 match when EaW is out dude ; it's always fun to win a brand-new Ferrari with a 60's VW, if you know what i mean
El Sitherino Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Read the book, he did not crash into the bridge he was caught in the blast Watch the movie, he flies straight into the bridge.
popcorn2008 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Read the book, he did not crash into the bridge he was caught in the blast Movie > Book I agree with Insane sith on this one.
Jason91 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Lets not get into a debate here ppl's ( i mean is it really important...) but ummm yeh i can't decide cus i can't find any advantages 4 the rebels thats why i'm histant 2 play s them IMPS all they way 4 me most probbly
shadowsfm Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 then i guess you will play the imps until you deside you want to try something new. me, ill be plying the imp compaign, then the reb
El Sitherino Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 You guys need to watch the movies again. The rebels advantage is that they're hidden from their enemy.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Sithy posted what I was going to say. So yeah, they have the advantage of being hidden from the movies. Ex. - Bothans Spies can hide from the enemies.
killerluk Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 everybody seems to forgot the best advantage the rebels have imho the possibility to attack any planet at any time no matter of wich fleet is in orbit the blockade runner option imperials will have to be sure to guard all their planets good wich will cost em lot of $$
shadowsfm Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 we dont know much about that option yet, maybe we cant do that all the time, maybe its only a hero move the disadvantages are the defenders will still have bombers in orbit, and it will suck if the empire has control of the orbit, like maybe they will pull out thier death star, and you have no defenders in space.
Rok_stoned Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Rebels prolly have stealthier ways to win and are hard to find in addition maybe they get more recruits quicker or the indiginous peoples are more willing to help. also they steal stuff, that should make the empire lose reasorces. P.S whats this "blockade running" option I keep hearing about?
(TAG)Rebel_Stri Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 You can attack a planet surface without having to destroy the enemy fleet
Athanasios Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 As i said, we still know nothing about rebel infiltrators. If they can steal enemy vehicles as they meant too (and which was done in Force Commander), then you simply cannot underestimate them. Adding the fact that those clumsy stormies cannot even pass a shieled door without hitting their heads on the top*, then rebs have a strong "plus" on their side. *I guess you all have seen that "movie bug" in EpIV, where Han and Luke reach the control station on Death Star and a patrol of troops enters in for checkout (i don't remeber well). If you see clearly, one of them hits its head on the top of the door; heh, stormies...
FleetAdmiral AK Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 I think rebs' shielded vehicles will do quite good job against imps' ones, as long as they have number advantage. In FC, the shield fell very quickly, meaning that imps have greater firepower. Also, in FC infiltrators could steal enemy vehicles, making them unique. Personally, im going to play with rebs since they have a better art concept on their units and, besides, they're the good guys Athanasios, I was quoting someone else I like the rebs way more than the stupid imps next time read the rest(p.s Im not getting mad simply stating).
star wars lover Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 OK I like the rest of you are eagerly awaiting this game, but I have a concern. All the articles I've read say the Empire is very very powerful. They have the advantage in both quantity and quality of units. They also have access to the super weapons. My question is this, how does a Rebel player compete against that? According to my calculation the only advantage the Rebs have is in the starfighter category, and they have to steal those plans at that. 2 Words: Deflector Shield. lol that is what the Rebel player uses against the Empire. Empire = Might, Brute Force Rebels = Shields, Stealth
Bossz Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Well of course the both sides are equally strong in space and on land. Otherwise nobody would play the Rebels in skirmish.
Athanasios Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Actually, this is exactly what happened with Force Commander; rebs were too wick for online gaming (i knew only one single person that could play with rebs and win). I hope this won't happen again in EaW.
